left-hand margin Dramaticapedia - Your story structure encyclopedia with books, videos, audios and hundreds of topics on story structure and storytelling (see the quick menu on the right). Articles on Writing is your extensive collection of 175 essays on a variety of topics on story development. Each essay offers insight and/or practical applications. The Writing Videos are approximately one-hour classes in the nature of character, plot, and storytelling. The videos are hosted by Melanie Anne Phillips, based on the Story Structure course she teaches through UCLA. The Writing Audios section is a growing collection of programs on story structure and storytelling. The Story Structure Book is an electronic edition of the 450 page book, Dramatica: A New Theory of Story. In it, you'll find a whole new way of looking at what stories are and how to write them. The Online Writing Seminar includes hours of streaming video taped from a live presentation of the StoryWeaving Seminar, presented by the creator of StoryWeaver & Co-creator of Dramatica. Half the material focuses on the Elements of Structure, and the other half on the Art of Storytelling. Between the two, you'll have your eyes opened to a whole new passionate approach to story development. The Storyforming Newsletter section presents the complete series of seven publications about story structure from the creators of Dramatica. Writing with the Story Mind is a one hour program about the central concept in Dramatica and how to use it to analyze your story's structure and inspire your story's personality. 20 tracks in mp3 format you can stream or download. Two Online Writing Workshops are currently available with 100 lessons each! "How to Create Great Characters" give you practical tips for building compelling, dramatically sound characters. "Mastering Dramatica Pro" is not just for owners of the Dramatica software. This workshop provides a whole new perspective on what stories are, how they work, and how to build them. Manuscript Submission Software tracks all of your submissions to magazines, book publishers, agents and development executives (for Windows PCs). Wild Speller Software is an English spelling aid for Windows PCs that can help when you only know how to spell part of a word. Software for Windows Users: Sticky Notes creates interactive index cards right on your desktop! You can adjust size, color, font, set alarms/reminders and even have the program read the notes to you in voice. Name Generator randomly creates character names, so you'll never again be stuck leafing through the phone book. You can also add your own names to the default data base. Jive Generator translates any text into "Jive," "Texan," or "Valley Girl" dialect. Word Morph creates real sounding non-words you'll never find in a dictionary. You can choose the first and last letters and the number of syllables. Then, Word Morph will give you list of not-real words to name that special something in your story. Muse Gooser is an inspiration tool for Plot & Characters. It is an interactive Microsoft Word document that helps you come up with ideas and break out of creative ruts. We're sure you'll find the Writer's Survival Kit & Sampler an enormously useful reference. Of course, we are always looking for ways to improve our services for writers. So, if you have a suggestion, comment, question, or even a complaint, send us some email at customer-service@storymind.com. EXTRAS for Everyone: Software Demos of the most popular writing software programs let you try before you buy. Some, like Movie Magic Screenwriter, let you format the first 40 pages of your screenplay before purchase. Others, like Dramatica, are fully functional except for saving. Coming Soon!
